The project addressed consists <br /> of the installation of approximately 2,700 linear feet of new watermain along the segment <br />I of Old Highway 10 between Wedgewood Circle and Ramsey County Highway 96. The <br /> project is technically feasible from an engineering standpoint. Economic feasibility must <br /> C'ti.E:-.G',-";::x:I':G be evaluated by the City of Arden Hills' Finance Director. <br />I :\N.\C"'ME.'iT;l.~ <br /> .\.~L:,\:C.o':'L Project Background <br /> PL.l."'~,r~;G <br />_>ocs'.."s., The City requested MSA, Consulting Engineers to complete this report in a memorandum <br /> S'~'.;(.:~:;,l.~ dated March 12, 1996, following the receipt of Ramsey County's 1996 Transportation <br /> S.;,'iS'i',';G Improvement Plan (TIP). Ramsey County proposed the biruminous overlay of Old <br />I E-".:::C Highway 10 from County Road F to Highway 96 during August of 1996. It would be <br /> Tt..';\iS;:':~~A~!ON beneficial for the City to incorporate the installation of any necessary utilities prior to that <br />I construction to prevent the unnecessary disrurbance of the newly overlaid roadway in the <br /> E:.::., C':'_'W::::~:',~j:C.':'~ near future. <br /> c','':'~;:::~,~G <br /> r"i.:.': <br />I P'J,'i:<:S:S"ISJ,Gi Existing Conditions <br /> S;:.J.~:' <br /> S':S:C'..::)MRms Old Highway 10, within the project area, currently exists as a portland cement concrete <br />I roadway. The roadway is in poor condition and in need of structural and surficial repairs. <br /> Accordingly, Ramsey County Public Works has included this segment of roadway in its <br /> 1996 overlay program. There is currently no municipal watermain along the segment of <br />I Old Highway 10 from Wedgewood Circle to Highway 96. There are, however, segments <br /> of 12-inch trunk watermain at the north and south limits of this area, within Lake Shore <br />I Place and Old Highway 10 (see exhibit 1). These sections of the City of Arden Hills' <br /> existing infrastrucrure would provide good connection points to allow both residential <br /> service to the 20 residents along Old 10, as well as a good loop within the City's water <br />I OffiCES IN: distribution system to allow pressure equalization and redundancy for future development <br />_ MINNEAPOLIS to the west. The need for this improvement leads to the next section of this report, the <br /> 'RIOR lAKE proposed improvements. <br />I ST.PAUl <br /> WA5ECA <br />I 520!075-0206.apr An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> I <br /> , <br />
